Research on Tap: Global Security in an Interconnected World

Tuesday, September 16 | 4-6 PM

Kilachand Center Eichenbaum Room (Room 101)
610 Commonwealth Ave, Boston, MA 02215

From climate change and nuclear weapons to migration and global health, today’s global security challenges stretch across borders — and academic silos. This Research on Tap event brings together scholars from across the BU community to engage in an important and timely conversation about the future of global security.

Amid a rapidly evolving global landscape, speakers will explore new questions about the nature of security today. For example, how do climate change, migration, and global health intersect with traditional security concerns? What can we learn by examining these issues across disciplines or through new forms of collaboration?

As scholarship and teaching on global security gain momentum at Boston University, this Research on Tap will showcase the breadth of faculty expertise on pressing global challenges. By drawing on diverse perspectives, the event aims to deepen our understanding of what security means in an interconnected world, spark vital conversations, and plant the seeds for future collaboration.

Featuring: Sanne Verschuren, Muhammad Zaman and Rosella Cappella Zielinski (Hosts) | Zohra Ahmed | Brooke Durham | Ben Goossen | Joseph Harris | Patrick Keys | Tim Longman | Apekshya Prasai | Kaija Schilde | Min Ye

About Research on Tap

The Research on Tap series, sponsored by the BU Office of Research, brings together groups of BU researchers around important topics. At each event, 10-12 researchers present a maximum of four slides and deliver a four-minute “elevator pitch” of their work. Research on Tap events are open to faculty, staff, postdocs, and graduate students. Each presentation is followed by refreshments and lively discussion with colleagues and potential collaborators.
